Module Aims
This module aims to look at current and future advanced audio techniques and technologies that facilitate ever increasingly innovative performances and installations. The core theme is the technology which facilitates these advanced techniques.
Content Summary
Lighting Desk Technology
Pixel map generation and on-board pixel mapping solutions.
Advanced pixel map content driven chroma information generation (allowing media server content to determine the lighting colours).
Setting up fully timecoded shows using MIDI timecode, SMPTE timecode and real-world clocks.
Integrating GPIO into the lighting desk workflow.
Lighting System Technology
Creating complex networked data systems for live event lighting solutions, considering budget, power and data redundancy, equipment choice and multi-protocol systems and their uses.
Lighting Fixture Technology
Tungsten, arc lamp, LED and laser source comparison for use in different scenarios.
Understanding requirements of a fixture and the implications of not choosing the right fixture for the desired outcome.
In depth, inside look at how manufacturers have developed fixture technology over time and why changes are beneficial to an operator.
Lighting In Society
Ethical, environmental and economy based discussion around the lighting industry and its developments.
Disposal, recycling and upcycling of older or end-of-life equipment.
Ensuring society understands the roles within lighting and discussion around appropriate pay vs skillset for these roles.
